See the state issued Transfer Model Curriculum (TMC) template for any further clarification regarding program requirements.
A student completing the Associate in Arts for Transfer in Spanish will have a solid background in reading, writing, speaking, and comprehending Spanish and will have developed both an understanding and appreciation of Hispanic cultures. The student will be prepared for upper division coursework in Spanish at a four-year university, or, should he/she pursue other fields of study, will have achieved a level of competence in Spanish that will both enhance job performance and increase marketability in professions where knowledge of Spanish is either necessary or advantageous.
The Spanish Associate in Arts for Transfer degree is designed to provide a clear pathway to a CSU major and baccalaureate degree. California Community College students who are awarded an ADT are guaranteed admission with junior standing somewhere in the CSU system. This priority does not guarantee admission to specific majors or campuses. Current and prospective community college students are encouraged to meet with a counselor to develop an educational plan that best meets their goals and needs.
Students will have to fulfill the following requirements to earn this degree.
(1) Complete 60 semester units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including both of the following:
(A) The Inter-segmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education-Breadth requirements; and
(B) A minimum of 19-20 semester units as required for the Associate in Arts for Transfer in Spanish major.
(2) Obtain an overall minimum grade point average of 2.0
(3) Earn a grade of “C” or better (or P) in all courses required for the Associate in Arts for Transfer in Spanish major. A “P” (Pass) grade is also an acceptable grade for courses in the major if the course is taken on a Pass/No Pass basis, where a Pass is defined as a “C” or better.
A maximum of 12 units are allowed with a P grade for students earning an Associate Degree. For detailed information, please refer to the SRJC Grading Policy.
Upon successful completion of this program, the student will be able to:

It is important that students who are completing an Associate Degree and desire to transfer to a four-year institution meet with a counselor to plan their lower division coursework. While many majors at SRJC are intended to align with lower division major preparation required by California public universities, specific lower-division major requirements vary among individual campuses. See a counselor, visit the Transfer Center, and check Guides For Transfer in Specific Majors, and ASSIST to review transfer preparation guides for specific schools and majors.
